Sounds like you are talking about bondo. I would suggest not using it as it can fall off when the Jeep body starts flexing off road.

- Right now, only one '76 CJ5. 304 with a three speed stick. Everything else is pretty much stock 'cept for a 4" suspension lift. Came to me with a back breakin' 4" suspension lift attached to a reverse shackle setup (Reversed the reverse shackle :dung: and now she rides like a Caddy!) Also posess a few 60s & 70s Mustangs and a couple of late 70's F150s 4X4s.
Most of the automotive world calls it "seam sealer".
That's about all it is, too......paintable caulk.
You can find some good stuff at most any auto-body supply store. The chain parts houses will probably have something similar. Can't speak for the quality at the chain stores, though.

Seam sealer is not just calk, no way, no how. Actually quite tough, kind of expensive as well. clean the seam very well and wear rubber gloves.

They are very proud of that stuff, starts around $15 for a tube about the same size as a tube of caulking. Good thing it's a small tub.

I imagine it has a very short shelf life when it is opened so I would not plan on using it again a couple months down the line.

I used Extreme Hold Liquid Nails Construction Adhesive and it worked very well. I was even able to sand it a little so it was smooth/rounded with the adjacent panels. Turned out great.
